The Hamlet of East Chaldon is approached off the A352 through narrow country lanes. It has some fifty houses a pub 'The Sailors Return' and St Nicholas Church with a Green in the centre of the Village. Famous for past artists, such as the Powys Family, Elizabeth and Hope Muntz, and Sylvia Townsend Warner and Valentine Ackland, East Chaldon has remained unspoilt and peaceful. Neighbouring towns are Weymouth, a sandy-beach Georgian seaside resort, Dorchester, Dorset's County town and Wareham , a walled Saxon town on the river Frome. These are all about 20 mins by car. A mile away in Winfrith Newburgh there is an adequate village shop. There are several good local pubs.
